94 -- Typ is typically a type that has the With_Type flag set. Returns the
95 -- non-limited view of the type, if available, otherwise the type itself.

97 -- to retrieve the class-wide type of the non-limited view of the Etype.
98 -- Returns the argument unchanged if it is not one of these cases.
100 function Constant_Value (Ent : Entity_Id) return Node_Id;

103 -- Empty for a deferred constant whose full view is not available or

120 function First_Discriminant (Typ : Entity_Id) return Entity_Id;
121 -- Typ is a type with discriminants. The discriminants are the first
122 -- entities declared in the type, so normally this is equivalent to

138 -- For derived non-tagged types that rename discriminants in the root type
139 -- this is the first of the discriminants that occur in the root type. To

143 -- flag is set since although they are actually stored in the object, they
144 -- are not in the set of discriminants that is visible in the type.
